Minnesota Renaissance Festival – My Favorite Minnesota

Renaissance Festival: Shakopee
I love this place ’cause I can speak with a fake English accent all day long and pretend I’m in a Monty Python movie. If you’re a single woman you’re guaranteed to find a knight in shining armor. Ha. It’s a big costume party and you can get hooked up with some period dress right on site. Actors stay in character and the “kingdom” is made up of permanent structures that look totally authentic. It could be Middle Earth if you know what I mean. Everything is “Ye Olde” like the Ye Old giant turkey legs that you can rip apart to the Ye Olde Coffee Shoppe where you can get a Ye Olde latte. There’s a place to whiz tomatoes at unruly peasants’ heads, make funny wax “hang loose” molds of your hand, and I usually never leave without getting an elephant to chauffer me around. It’s definitely a throw back in time. It’s total Ye Olde sweet. See more about cool Minnesota stuff at My Favorite Minnesota http://www.exploreminnesota.com/myfavoriteminnesota/

    That’s why it’s often thought of as a Medieval Fantasy Festival. However, since Renaissance Festival is considered to sounds better that’s what it is. My parents own the tall jewelry booth near the front gate. Needless to say I practically group up at this festival.

    Very nice indeed. There are however a certain number of odd things, that I guess matter little when it’s all about having fun. The young gentleman who hosts the video, dressed in Elizabethan (not even Henrian) clothing, and his dame dressed in 14th century ones, talking to crusaders from Richard Lionheart’s time, listening to Baroque music. A very quantic-renaissance I’d dare say, but very nice anyway :)
